Genesis GV80

Under the hood, the GV80 gets a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine as standard equipment. It makes a respectable 300 horsepower. But there’s no hiding the fact that it has to motivate nearly 5,000 pounds of SUV. We suggest opting for the available 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 instead. Its smooth-revving 375 horses are more befitting a vehicle in this class. Another benefit: all V6-equipped examples get all-wheel drive, which is optional with the four-banger.

The GV80 makes no compromises when it comes to the interior. With premium materials, well-integrated tech, and a minimalist design, the cabin feels both modern and classic at the same time. Once underway, the main thing you’ll notice is what’s missing: wind and road noise. The big Genesis cocoons its occupants with one of the quietest cabins available. It offers plenty of space, too, with the exception of the optional third row, which is best suited for kids.

As is typical for Genesis, even the base GV80 comes nicely equipped with features, such as heated front seats, a power liftgate, navigation, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration. Available add-ons include a panoramic sunroof, ventilated front seats, heated second-row seats, a 360-degree parking camera, and soft-close doors.

The GV80 also boasts a class-leading factory warranty, covering five years or 60,000 miles from the original in-service date.
